Biomechanical comparison of lateral collateral ligament reconstruction with and without additional internal bracing using a three-dimensional elbow simulator

Application of Doctor-Nurse-Patient Co-Decision-Making Nursing Intervention Based on Evidence-Based Problems in the Rehabilitation of Acute Ankle Lateral Collateral Ligament Injury

“…Nursing intervention can comprehensively reduce the risk of risk factors affecting the rehabilitation of patients with acute collateral ligament injury, mainly because when formulating and implementing the rehabilitation training plan, medical staff first conducted a questionnaire survey on patients with acute ankle collateral ligament injury to understand their lack of health knowledge and then implemented targeted health education to achieve the effect of filling the examination gap [12,13]. Before formulating the rehabilitation training plan, we fully explain the purpose, meaning, and method of the rehabilitation training to the patient; formulate a preliminary rehabilitation training plan according to the clinical condition of the patient; introduce the reasons for the training to the patient in detail; encourage the patient to express their own ideas and propose plan revision suggestions; and jointly formulate a rehabilitation training plan with patients, which can improve the patient's participation and subjective initiative, so that the rehabilitation training plan can be carried out smoothly, ensure its application effect, and promote the recovery of the patient's ankle joint [14,15]. In the rehabilitation process of patients with acute collateral ligament injury of the ankle joint, some patients suffer from complications such as improper rehabilitation training intensity, ankle stiffness, and traumatic arthritis, which affect the ankle joint recovery effect and daily living function [16].…”

Internal bracing in the treatment of elbow instabilities

“…Although not yet to a significant extent, the authors also observed an increase in stability after internal bracing in LUCL reconstruction [25]. This might be of interest especially for revision surgery after failed LUCL reconstruction.…”

No difference in torque load to failure between split anconeus fascia transfer and autograft palmaris longus tendon for reconstruction of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament

“…Our failure data for both the SAFT and the PL techniques are consistent with previous studies of LUCL graft reconstruction. Ellwein et al 6 reported a mean torque load to failure for LUCL graft reconstruction of 8.1 ± 2.7 Nm, and Melbourne et al 13 found a mean torque load to failure for LUCL graft reconstruction of 12 ± 4 Nm. The finding of torque load to failure similar to that for other well-established methods supports further consideration of the SAFT technique in LUCL reconstruction.…”
